Description

About: Take your classical music “in stride” and come out to support the Kennett Symphony and see if you can BEAT BEETHOVEN!! This is a fun race for serious runners as well as beginners and families. The race will start with the downbeat of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (DAH, DAH, DAH DAH!!). Your goal is to finish the 5K before the Symphony finishes playing (over 30-minutes). Beethoven himself runs the race every year and always has finished with time to spare.... think you can beat him?!

Course: Starting and finishing next to the stage in Anson B. Nixon park, runners will get a full tour of the park on the 5K course (5K map). Two loops of this fast and flat course will have you finishing well before symphony! The 1-mile course consists of 2-loops of the of the pond (map) with walkers going in the opposite direction of runners.
